“We can all agree that last year didn’t go exactly as planned and we are thrilled to move forward together to provide America with an incredible night of music and celebration on ‘Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2018.’ See you in Times Square!” a joint statement from Carey and dick clark productions read.

Take 1 was pretty much a disaster — she said she couldn’t “hear” and at one point stopped singing, even though a prerecorded vocal could still be heard in the background. A few hours later, she tweeted, “S--- happens.”

In the ensuing days, Carey’s team and dick clark productions engaged in a public spat. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, her manager blamed the performance on technical glitches and said the “decision not to cut to commercial or cut the performance out of the West Coast feed is in a way sabotaging as they wanted a viral moment.”

dick clark productions responded in a statement that the implication it would ever “intentionally compromise the success of any artist is defamatory, outrageous and frankly absurd."

Hopefully, it will be all smiles once she returns to Times Square next week.Theo Wargo / Getty Images
